Industrial & occupational safety

  • The safety culture at LLC Bryanskneftekhimprom is based on personal responsibility of each employee and the involvement of all Company employees and contractors in the process of improving safety levels. This priority is reflected in the Company’s corporate slogan — “Safety Begins with You”.

Safety Culture

The Company is continuously developing its employee training programme in industrial, environmental and occupational safety.

Contractors are also involved in the Company’s training programme. Their managers and specialists undergo cascade training in environmental safety in the following areas:

  • ♦ compliance with the requirements of environmental legislation at production facilities;
  • ♦ handling of production and consumption wastes at the Company’s facilities;
  • ♦ requirements of corporate documentation related to environmental protection.

Contractors’ compliance with the corporate HSE standards is one of the basic selection criteria applied to potential contractors in the competitive bidding process.

Occupational Health

The company is putting in place a long-term strategy on health and wellbeing, involving health checks and screening, staff vaccination programmes, first aid training, and other initiatives.

The corporate health protection and disease prevention system includes:

  • ♦ disease prevention (accreditation of clinics, thorough medical examinations, the formation and monitoring of risk groups for cardiovascular diseases, and Health Awareness Days for employees);
  • ♦ emergency response (first aid/medical assistance, transportation to clinics, and first aid training);
  • ♦ promotion of a healthy lifestyle — organizing vaccinations, promoting a healthy lifestyle, preventing alcohol and drug use, and an insurance system.

The Company is implementing a long-term strategy to prevent occupational diseases. One of its priorities is to assess the risk of cardiovascular disease and provide a thorough examination of high-risk group employees.

As it develops responsibility throughout the entire supply chain, the Company is introducing a new health safety focus — ‘Contractor management’ — in which the Company monitors medical examinations by employees of contractors and organizes effective emergency medical responses for them, among other things. This project received a gold medal at the Health and Safety 2021 national competition.

Risk management

The Company’s integrated risk management system outlines a standardized procedure for identifying and assessing risks, preparing risk management measures, making sure such measures are duly implemented and recorded, including with respect to risks related to environmentally sensitive areas where the company operates.

Emergency Response Readiness

The Company has been improving the preparedness of its production facilities for potential emergency situations and training its personnel to handle these situations, including in difficult weather conditions.

Oil Spill Response Plan

The Company’s Oil Spill Response Plan has been developed by the Russian Navy Central Research and Design Institute (CNIIMF), announced with the Federal Marine and River Transport Agency of the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation and the Ministry of Energy of the Russian Federation, and approved by the Russian Federation Ministry of Emergency Situations.

The Plan provides for different risk scenarios and gives estimates of personnel and equipment required for emergency response units in different situations.

The Company has also established professional oil spill containment and response units and arranged efficient communication with the governmental emergency response bodies. The Company has procured a special equipment that allows it to respond to possible oil spills in the Arctic region and skim spilled oil in ice conditions.
